apparent that the initial starting of the engine, the moist air whichwill be drawn from the radiator yinto the steam dome will be more orless'comleitsed sothat practically all moisture contained within the airwill lie condensed and' accumulated within the steain dome upon theexhaust manifold. As soon as the exhaust manifold begins to becomeheated the condensation or moist. air or vapor in the lteam dome l will-lverted into steam for intake manifold. After the engine has, l')eeo|netlu-n'otighl \r heated, the heat radiated from the exhaust'nlanifoldwill operaie to etl'eetivelv superheat; all steam that is conveyed intothe steam -doIne from the radiator.

lt will also be noted that by reason of the particular posit-ion of theauxiliar)v eonveyor pipe D, that the hot4 water in itsA eireu'lationthrough the water cooling system of the motor will t'reel)y circulatearoundA this pipe. so as to provide additional means for heating: it.wherel'i)r the steam in its pas sage from the radiator through the steamdome will Ibe initially heated prior to its' being sllperheated withinthe steam dome.

If it'. should be found desirable a ronlrolling valve niay'be positionedbetween theI steam dome 1 and the intake manifold so as to control thepassage of the superhealed steam into thev manifold.

l. ln a motor vchielefthe combination with the engine thereof and-itsassociated parts, of a cup shaped steam dome mounted upon and secured tothe exhaust manifold, a eonveyer pipe entering said steam dome adjacentits upper end and establishin eonnnunieat'ion between the steam dome andthe radiator', and a conveyer pipe entering said steam dome adjacent itsupper end and establishing communication between said steam dome and theintake manifold of the engine, said steam dome adapted to arrestcondensed steam and prevent it from entering into the intake manifold.

2. In eomliination with an internal combustiion engine. and itsradiator, of a moisture superheater comprising a hollow elementpositioned to lie adjacent the engine exhaust pipe, a pipe connectionbetween said element. and'said radiator above the radiator water level,and a pipe connection between said element and the engine intakemanifold. both pipe connections into said element being above its bottomwall to thereby form a condensation space between said connections andthe bottom wall of said element. l i
